What are cases involving admiralty and maritime law about?

United States admiralty law (or maritime law) is the body of admiralty law. The federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over most admiralty.

The Maritime Injury Law Center has experience in general admiralty law and maritime personal injury law. It handles cases that deal with maritime personal injury claims and admiralty law. It also handles cases that involve sports injuries or boating accidents.

Admiralty law governs crimes conducted at sea. Admiralty law is also commonly heard as "Maritime Law." Over the course of many years, the Admiralty laws have changed to include crimes conducted by foreign countries.
